Shooting – The Basics
Using the Mode Dial (Image Zone)
Settings fitting the shooting conditions of your subject can easily be set using the shooting
mode dial.
Fast Shutter
Use this mode to shoot
fast moving objects.
Landscape
Use this mode to
shoot landscape
scenes.
Night Scene
Use this mode to capture human
subjects against the backdrop of an
evening sky or night scene. The
flash is directed at the person and
the shutter speed is slow, so both
the person and the background can
be beautifully shot.
Slow Shutter
Use this mode to shoot
moving objects to make
them appear blurred, such
as river rapids.
Portrait
Use this mode when you
want the subject to appear
sharp and the background
to blur.
Stitch Assist
Use this mode when taking
shots that you want to
combine into a panorama
(p. 49).
Special Scene
Select from 8 scene modes
to shoot with the most
appropriate settings for the
scene (p. 51).
Movie
Use this mode to shoot
movies. Sound is also
recorded simultaneously
(p. 56).
